The 39th Krajina Division (Serbo-Croatian language: Tridesetdeveta krajiška divizija / Тридесетдевета крајишка дивизија) was a Yugoslav Partisan division formed on 20 March 1944. It was formed from the 13th and 15th Krajina Brigades which in total had around 3,400 fighters.[1] In October 1944, the 20th Krajina Brigade became part of the division. It was part of the 5th Corps and it operated in Bosnia, mostly the region of Bosanska Krajina.[2]
